About Rick Rose

Rick Rose is a trial attorney at Mortensen & Milne who brings valuable dual-perspective litigation experience to complex personal injury and product liability cases, in Utah and nationwide. Before representing injured individuals, Rick spent years defending large corporations and insurers, experience that now gives him a strategic advantage when confronting those same defense tactics on behalf of plaintiffs. Rick’s background allows him to anticipate how defense teams evaluate risk, develop arguments, and attempt to limit exposure. He uses that insight to build strong, trial-ready cases designed to withstand aggressive opposition and position clients for meaningful results.

At Mortensen & Milne, Rick focuses on serious personal injury, defective product claims, and dangerous condition cases. He approaches each matter with careful preparation, sound legal strategy, and a commitment to accountability. Clients value his thoughtful approach, clear communication, and steady advocacy throughout the litigation process.
